Chapter 2
When they were approaching the foot of the mountain, Dou Lianyi saw the Lu family's carriage parked there from a distance.
The driver was obviously surprised when he saw Dou Lianyi suddenly coming down the mountain, but he hesitated and refused to drive away.
Dou Lianyi kicked him off the carriage.He ordered the maid to put the scholar into the carriage.
No one knew what happened in the carriage.
When the carriage arrived at the county prince's palace, the scholar got out of the carriage with a depressed expression.
Dou Lianyi entered the Prince's Mansion without letting his servants inform him, and went straight to Shou'an Hall where Mrs. Lu lived.
When I walked outside the main room, I happened to hear voices inside.
"Mom, Yan'er told me that my sister-in-law went to White Horse Temple early in the morning all dressed up. She looked more like she was going to have a private meeting with her lover than to fulfill her vow!"
Dou Lianyi listened to Lu Lianzhi's encouraging voice outside and sneered in her heart. In her last life, she took her mother-in-law to the White Horse Temple to "catch an adulterer."
Lu Shangxuan even cooperated with the acting, saying that even if she lost her innocence, he would accept her, and coaxed her into handing over all her dowry money.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she stepped into the house with a cold face.
"If my sister-in-law is not a widow in the house, how can she act like a country woman and make trouble in front of her mother!" She took the lead and taunted Lu Lianzhi when she entered the house.
Lu Lianzhi's face turned red. She was most afraid of others talking about her identity as a widow.
Just as he was about to scold him, his eyes widened when he saw Dou Lianyi walking in, and he said in disbelief, "You...how did you..."
"Why am I here?" Dou Lianyi answered with a sneer, her sharp eyes piercing Lu Lianzhi like a sharp knife.
Lu Lianzhi was so shocked by her aura that she was speechless, and a look of panic flashed in her eyes.
"Lianyi, didn't you say you would stay overnight at White Horse Temple today? Why are you back now?" Mrs. Lu was also very surprised on her face and couldn't help but ask.
Dou Lianyi did not take her eyes away from Lu Lianzhi, a strange smile appeared on her lips, and she said slowly: "Mother, I have something happy to tell you."
"Oh? What's the happy event?" Mrs. Lu was diverted by her attention and asked doubtfully.
"I met a scholar at White Horse Temple today. He said that he is my sister-in-law's sweetheart and has always admired her very much. He also begged me to go back to my house to make peace for him and ask my mother to agree to his marriage to my sister-in-law."
Lu Lianzhi's expression changed instantly when she heard this, and she was shocked and retorted, "How is that possible! Sister-in-law must have made a mistake! When did I have a sweetheart!"
Dou Lianyi smiled half-heartedly, "I didn't believe it at first, but the scholar even took out the love token, so I couldn't help but believe it."
After saying that, she took out the silver hairpin wrapped with lotus flowers from her sleeve.
"This hairpin belongs to my sister-in-law, right? Did I see you wearing it a few days ago?"
Lu Lianzhi's face suddenly became even more ugly. She looked at the silver hairpin with a gloomy expression, trying her best to calm down, thinking that Dou Lianyi must be trying to trick her.
"I lost this hairpin a few days ago, and I don't know who picked it up. If my sister-in-law doesn't believe it, she can ask the scholar to come in and confront me!"
Naturally, she was not afraid of confronting the scholar. This man was originally found by her confidant Yan'er. It was said that he was a gambler. Yan'er held his IOU in her hand, and he would never dare to betray her side.Dou Lianyi was waiting for Lu Lianzhi's words, so she shouted out the door, "Bring people in!"
Soon a woman led the scholar in.
The scholar's eyes dodge, especially when he looked at Dou Lianyi, his eyes were full of fear.
Dou Lianyi still smiled and said lightly: "Now that you have met the old lady, you can say everything you want to say."
When the scholar heard her voice, he was frightened. He immediately bowed and said in a trembling voice: "Old Madam, I have been in love with Miss Mulian for a long time. I beg Old Madam to agree to our marriage."
Lu Lianzhi's expression was so ugly that she stood up from her chair and screamed: "You're talking nonsense! I don't even know you!"
As if she felt that she was too out of character, Lu Lianzhi took a deep breath and sat back on the chair again, her eyes gloomy.
How could things be completely out of her control? What tricks did that bitch Dou Lianyi use to make the scholar betray her? She really underestimated her.
Seeing her reaction, Dou Lianyi chuckled and said slowly, "Little sister, don't be shy. Although this scholar is poor now, he might be able to win the No. [-] prize in the future. By then, you will be the No. [-] scholar's wife."
As she spoke, she changed the topic again, revealing a sarcastic tone, "If my sister-in-law doesn't marry, and the reputation of this private relationship spreads, it will be difficult to marry into a good family in the future."
Lu Lianzhi's face was livid, she clutched the handkerchief tightly, and her heart was filled with anger. How could she marry such a shabby gambler!
But what if that bitch really goes out to ruin her reputation...
A hint of evil flashed in her eyes, and she could only bear the pain and use her trump card in advance.
Lu Lianzhi made up her mind and winked vaguely with a maid behind Dou Lianyi.
The maid immediately understood, took a step forward, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said with an anxious look: "Old madam, this slave... I have something to say."
Dou Lianyi frowned and looked at the maid with sharp eyes, having a bad feeling in her heart.
She had no memory of this maid, except that she seemed to be called Du Juan.
Mrs. Lu also had a severe headache at the moment and said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't hesitate."
Du Juan then continued: "I didn't want to say it at first, but for the sake of my aunt's life-long event, I still have the courage to say it. This scholar, I met him accidentally when I was at the White Horse Temple. He was outside the door of my wife's room. He was sneaky and seemed to have entered the lady's room..."
Before the maid could finish speaking, Lu Lianzhi said aggrievedly to Mrs. Lu: "Mother, my daughter has never met that scholar, but I heard from the concierge that my sister-in-law often goes to the White Horse Temple. Now even my maids are here." Putting it this way, could it be that...the sister-in-law had an affair with the scholar and was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she slandered her daughter..."
After saying that, he looked at Dou Lianyi with malicious eyes.
What else doesn't Dou Lianyi understand? This girl is probably bribed by Lu Lianzhi a long time ago. She is so clever that he has reached out to her.
She was not panicked and pretended to be surprised: "There is also such a thing. This scholar is so bold and wants to do evil things outside my door!"
As she spoke, her sharp eyes glanced at the scholar again, "Tell me! What are your intentions outside my room? If you don't tell me, I will punish you!"
The scholar suddenly turned pale with fright. He was obviously afraid of Dou Lianyi and stammered: "No...I...I suffered...
